I admit I had to read the joke 4 times before I got it, but that only makes it funnier. um, I think it's a register (ie. a number where each bit has some meaning) about the capability of your HD. What exactly 0x6000, 0x8, 0x4, and 0x1 are, I don't know. Something to do with cable types, and so on, I think. someone more into the kernel could probably help more here I think :) HTH, -- Iain Buchanan <iaindb at netspace dot net dot au> linux: the choice of a GNU generation ([EMAIL PROTECTED] put this on Tshirts in '93) -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
